In this assignment, you will write a recommendation of a program to create invoices and create an invoice specific to your company.

Tasks:

Part I: Justifying Spreadsheet Software

You currently work for a small retail company that creates simple invoices using a document editor (Microsoft Word). Recent increases in sales have proved this process to be tedious since Microsoft Word does not total invoice amounts or fields.

Prepare a recommendation to your manager. In the recommendation, explain and justify the need to utilize a spreadsheet program, such as Microsoft Excel, to create invoices. Compare and contrast the benefits of spreadsheet software over a document editor, such as Microsoft Word, for invoicing.

Part II: Creating a Microsoft Excel-Based Invoice

Create an appendix to your memo. Within the appendix, create an invoice similar to the one shown below using Microsoft Excel. The spreadsheet should calculate all totals for amounts, subtotal, and tax automatically.
